Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an organic electroluminescent device which is a preferred self-luminous device for various display devices. Specifically, this invention relates to specific arylamine compounds, and organic electroluminescent devices (hereinafter referred to as organic EL devices) using specific arylamine compounds (and compounds having a pyrimidine ring structure having a particular structure).
  • the organic EL device is a self-luminous device and has been actively studied for their brighter, superior visibility and the ability to display clearer images in comparison with liquid crystal devices.
  • an electroluminescence device that includes an anode, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a cathode successively formed on a substrate, and high efficiency and durability have been achieved by the electroluminescence device (refer to NPL 1, for example).
  • the light emitting layer can be also fabricated by doping a charge-transporting compound generally called a host material, with a fluorescent compound, a phosphorescence-emitting compound, or a delayed fluorescent-emitting material.
  • a charge-transporting compound generally called a host material
  • a fluorescent compound e.g., a fluorescent compound
  • a phosphorescence-emitting compound e.g., a fluorescent compound
  • a delayed fluorescent-emitting material e.g., a delayed fluorescent-emitting material.
  • Heat resistance and amorphousness of the materials are also important with respect to the lifetime of the device.
  • the materials with low heat resistance cause thermal decomposition even at a low temperature by heat generated during the drive of the device, which leads to the deterioration of the materials.
  • the materials with low amorphousness cause crystallization of a thin film even in a short time and lead to the deterioration of the device.
  • the materials in use are therefore required to have characteristics of high heat resistance and satisfactory amorphousness.
  • NPD N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di( ⁇ -naphthyl)benzidine

  • the compound is insufficient in terms of electron blocking performance, some of the electrons pass through the light emitting layer, and improvements in luminous efficiency cannot be expected. For such a reason, a material with higher electron blocking performance, a more stable thin-film state and higher heat resistance is needed for higher efficiency.
  • an aromatic amine derivative having high durability is reported (refer to PTL 3, for example), the derivative is used as a charge transporting material used in an electrophotographic photoconductor, and there is no example of using the derivative in the organic EL device.
  • Arylamine compounds having a substituted carbazole structure are proposed as compounds improved in the characteristics such as heat resistance and hole injectability (refer to PTLs 4 and 5, for example).
  • the devices using these compounds for the hole injection layer or the hole transport layer have been improved in heat resistance, luminous efficiency and the like, the improvements are still insufficient. Further lower driving voltage and higher luminous efficiency are therefore needed.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a material for an organic EL device that is excellent in hole injection and transport abilities, electron blocking ability, thin film stability, and durability, as a material for an organic EL device with high efficiency and high durability, and also to provide an organic EL device having a high efficiency, a low driving voltage, and a long lifetime by combining the material with various materials for an organic EL device that is excellent in hole and electron injection and transport abilities, electron blocking ability, thin film stability, and durability, in such a manner that the characteristics of the materials can be effectively exhibited.

  • Physical properties of the organic EL device to be provided by the present invention include (1) high luminous efficiency and high power efficiency, (2) low turn on voltage, (3) low actual driving voltage, and (4) a long lifetime.
  • an arylamine material is excellent in hole injection ability and transport ability, thin film stability, and durability, and they have synthesized various compounds and have earnestly investigated the characteristics thereof.
  • an arylamine compound substituted with an aryl group at a particular position can efficiently inject and transport holes to a light emitting layer.
  • a compound having a pyrimidine ring structure is excellent in electron injection ability and transport ability, thin film stability, and durability, and they have produced various organic EL devices in such a manner that the arylamine compound substituted with an aryl group at a particular position and a compound having a pyrimidine ring structure having a particular structure are selected to inject and transport holes and electrons efficiently to a light emitting layer including a specific light-emitting material(dopant), and the hole transport material having a particular structure, the specific light-emitting material(dopant), and the electron transport material are combined to maintain carrier balance, and have earnestly investigated the characteristics of the devices.
